Dean Mears is joined by Mark Meehan and Tony Glover to reflect on Chelsea’s 1-0 Premier League defeat to Aston Villa.
In Part One we look at Poch’s team selection, discuss Chelsea’s finishing issues and the red card that changed the game.
In Part Two we reflect on the team’s and Poch’s reaction to Gusto’s red card, ask whether the underlying stats means we should be positive after all, but question if the results really are relegation form.
And in Part Three we look ahead to Wednesday’s Carabao Cup game with Brighton.
